The only thing better than having a garage is actually being able to park your $40 k car in it because it isn't filled up with $2 k worth of crap that you never use.

@JH Tennis It's one of my biggest pet peeves because it's so common, and so utterly ridiculous.

A friend had the engine stolen out of his car in Hartford, CT. I said you should of kept it in his garage. He replied it was in his garage and it was locked. This was about 45 years ago.

@@sd906238 I'm guessing it was a detached garage some distance from the house.

We're already there. I will be dead soon and all this foolishness will not matter. Hopefully, I will be at peace in God's Kingdom away from this madness. 😢 😭

"Don't leave the key inside" Thiefs have no idea if the lock is inside your car or not. If they break your window they would have broken it regardless of the key was in there or not🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

This is just a beginning

Why would someone steal wheels in the US? As far as I know, at a damn McDonald's, you'll make more in a day than you can get for 4 stolen wheels.

They steal just to steal

[@rockpadstudios]

I wonder who it could be?

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

[@Kawasaki496]

It's all those immigrants that are doing this that are getting bussed from Cali and Arizona lol

[@caleb5371]

It’s black people.

[@rwall3450]

I mean where are you supposed to keep the wheel lock at? Lock it in your glove box….if you carry it with you you’re gonna risk losing it…..

[@brianmccutchan9513]

I love my new neighbors, I don't really speak their language but they sure have great prices on wheels and tires.

[@sd906238]

I bet the ones they sold you look exactly like the ones stolen from your car. Even better they just happened to have 4 to match your car.

[@ninamoon4381]

Omg it's a Buick Riviera

[@weldonparmley8147]

NO one sees anything !

[@95SLE]

Looks like the entire wheel was stolen.

[@mountainmyst9026]

Why are you staying tires & rims.....just say wheels. They're aren't just stealing tires.

[@hellswindstaff91]

These people aren't that car savvy nor do they care

[@tedbell4416]

[@igotanimac1]

This never happened under Trump, biden comes in and all of a sudden, tires gone! Under Trump, there were no car thefts, no burglars, no crime! Biden's America!

[@mountainmyst9026]

So you're saying theft has occurred only in the last 2 years???

[@fukallutubers.666.]
